I can't find a quit() function

[Julian Assange]

What function do I need to use to allow the quit menu in my game to quit the game? I've looked through the documentation for LOVE and LUA, and tried love.quit(), love.exit() etc and haven't seen any way to do this. How do I go about this?

It's in the native Lua library 'os':

os.quit()

It's in the native Lua library 'os':

os.quit()

I found that in Google searches, but I get a CSOD that quit is nil.

edit:
I (accidentally) found the solution. It doesn't seem to be documented on the wiki but this worked for me:

Code: Select all

love.event.push("q")

Better not use functions from the os table, especially not if you want SELÖVE compatibility.

Yeah, that's the proper way to do it.

I don't care about SELÖVE compatibility. I don't really understand the point, except perhaps for use on this forum, where we often run scripts from strangers in our local binaries. I feel the same way about the sandboxed file system. *shrug*
